Defiance
Ruin, met with a raised glass.
To begin
Hazaaron aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikleBahut nikle mere , lekin phir bhi kam nikle
Our Translation
A thousand desires, each one worth dying for.So many were granted, and still it was never enough.
A path to read next
Na tha kuch to khuda tha, kuch na hota to khuda hotaDuboya mujh ko ne, na hota main to kya hota
Our Translation
When there was nothing, there was God; were there nothing still, God would remain.My own being drowned me; had I never been, what then?
hai ya rabChheen le mujh se mera
Our Translation
The memory of the past is a torment, O Lord.Take this remembering away from me.
Barsaat ke aate hi na rahi baaqiBaadal jo nazar aaye, badli meri bhi
Our Translation
The rains arrive, and what was left of my repentance is gone;one sight of the gathering clouds, and even my resolve gave way.
maut ka ek din haineend kyun raat bhar nahin aati
Our Translation
Death has one appointed day, fixed and certain,then why does sleep not come the whole night through?
ya-rab wo na samjhe hain na samjhenge meri baatde aur dil un ko jo na de mujh ko aur
Our Translation
O Lord, they have not understood, nor will they ever understand what I say,Give them yet another heart, since You will not give me another tongue.
